Identify Resources for the PC/104-GPIB
Before installing the PC/104-GPIB hardware, use the Add New
Hardware Wizard to inform Windows 95 about the new hardware you
are about to install in your system as described in the following steps.
Note:
For 8-bit operation, you must disable DMA and use only interrupt request
line 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, or none. Because the resources you can use are limited,
you will probably have to manually change the resources Windows 95
assigns when you run the Add New Hardware Wizard.
1.
Select Start»Settings»Control Panel.
2.
Launch the Add New Hardware Wizard by double-clicking on the
Add New Hardware icon.
3.
Click on the Next button in the first Add New Hardware Wizard
dialog box.
4.
Check No instead of Yes (Recommended) in the next Add New
Hardware Wizard dialog box. Because the PC/104-GPIB is a
non-Plug and Play module, Windows 95 is unable to detect its
presence. Click on the Next button to continue.
5.
Select the type of hardware you want to install in the next Add New
Hardware Wizard dialog box. Select the National Instruments
GPIB Interfaces item if it appears in the dialog box; otherwise,
select the Other Devices item, as shown in Figure 2-3. Click on the
Next button to continue.
